the queen visits parl square democracy village

[London] | 14.05.2010 22:25 | London

well it's probably not the real actual queen, but it's a chance to put up some pics from this week's actions around parliament square

on tuesday, concerned citizens successfully dropped a 'troops out' banner from the roof of st margaret's church opposite westminster abbey and the houses of parliament. after spending eight hours up there, they were eventually arrested under socpa for organising an 'unauthorised' protest.

meanwhile another daily petition was handed in to the new residents of downing street.

and today, apparently, the queen came to inspect the new people's oak tree in the square, and to wish the villagers well in hosting their day of actions tomorrow, starting with a guerilla gardening event at 1pm, hosting the purple 'take back parliament' protest at 2, and then partying with 'rave against the machine' at 4. later tomorrow there is a climate camp overnight vigil beginning at 11pm.
